End of HHJ Obsession/ Devotion
I've considered so many other areas of my life that could use this devotion. This is my goal deadline. I will have to purge all of my unused products and devote my time an energy to the betterment of another area of my life. MBL is my ultimate goal, but I have no idea where my hair will be come December 31, 2013. That will be five years of being hair obsessed.

4 Reviews- HairVeda, Paul Mitchell, Elasta QP
HairVeda Whipped Cream-Ends Hydration 8oz
Apply to your hair & ends as needed for moisture. Use in small amounts for the most benefit. Works well with the baggy method. Use with CoCasta Oil to lock in moisture. Whipped Cream is a great body moisturizer too. Keep away from heat.
Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Ricinus Communis Oil, Beeswax, Lauryl Laurate, Copernicia Cerifera Wax, Cetyreal Alcohol, Proysorbate 60, Steryl Alcohol, Sunflower Oil, Allantoin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Germall Plus, Fragrance
HairVeda Whipped Clouds (SheAloe Butter)
Apply Shea Aloe to your hair and body as needed for moisture. Use as a allover body moisturizer and skin softener. Use a small amount on hair. Rub into palms and smooth onto your hair shaft and ends for softness. Wonderful for kids. Perfect for extra dry, maturing and sensitive skin types. Non edible.
Ingredients: Butyrospermum Parkii Fruit, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Vitamin E, Hydrolized Collagen, Fragrance
My Experience: First, I must say that I love these products. The scent is heavenly and could incite a sweet tooth. These products are exquisite. The whipped cream did, in fact keep my hair moisturized, but it was too heavy no matter how much I would use. If I used either of these products I would have to plan protective styling only. These two moisturizers, some people use them to seal, are only great for bunning and other protective styling. I eventually got to the point where I used both of these products as moisturizers for my skin. I like them better on my skin than my hair. Do not be shocked, the products clearly state that they can be used for the skin as well. These products will not become staples, but who knows. I could see myself revisiting the Whipped(Baggy Cream), it really does help to create beautiful, shiny braid outs and twist outs.
STAPLE STATUS: NO
Next Up: Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Finishing Lotion
Elasta QP H-Two Leave-In Moisture Sealing Conditioner 8oz
Elasta QP H-Two adds lightweight moisture to give incredible luster and body to hair. Silk protein strengthens hair fibers while botanical extracts protect hair from thermal styling tools. Sunscreen protects against UV rays that fade color. Smooths and conditions braids.
Directions: Shampoo with your favorite QP shampoo. Spray liberal amount of QP H-Two into hair. Comb blend for even coverage. DO NOT RINSE FROM HAIR. Continue styling as usual.
Ingredients: Chamomillia Recuita (Matricaria) Extract, Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Extract, Melissa Officinalis (Balm Mint) Extract, Leaf Oil, Tussilago Farfars (Coltsfoot) Flower Extract, Eulsetum Arvense Extract, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Extract, Rosemarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract in Purified Water, Amodimethicone, Polyquaternium-11, Cetrimonium Chloride, Hydrolyzed Silk, Nonoxynol-10, Octoxynol-13, Benzophenone-4, Imidozolidinyl UREA, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Citric Acid, Fragance.
My Experience:This leave in was excellent at first. I had great slip with this product and it helped me to detangle so well. Then as I got halfway through the bottle, my hair became unruly. This leave-in lost it's kick with my hair really quickly. I was in such a rush to get rid of this product. I am not sure why it happened the way it did.
STAPLE STATUS: NO
NEXT UP: Wave Nouveau Finishing Mist
TIGI Bed Head Moisture Maniac Moisturizing Conditioner 25.36oz/ $7.20(70% off store-closing sale)
Regain composure. End your fight with snarls and tangles. Stop your struggle with dull, drab hair. Massive conditioning power. Brilliant fragrance. Moisture Maniac reforms your hair's behavior. Stay calm, cool and conditioned. TO USE: Work thoroughly through damp hair, rinse. For extra therapy, leave in 3-5 minutes, rinse.
Ingredients: Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Glycerin, Acetamide MEA, Cetrimonium Bromide, Stearyl Alcohol, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, PPG-2 Myristyl Ether Proprionate, Pentaerythrityl Tetracaprylate/Tetracaprate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Silk Amino Acids, Orange 4.
My Experience: This conditioner is awful. I love the scent, the consistency is the same as Bed Head Self-Absorbed, but it is nowhere as good. As I typed the description I chuckled a little because it says “End your fight with snarls and tangles. I used this product as a cowash and a dry dc and either way I was cursed with snarls and tangles. I found no good way to use this product. All in all I am disappointed in this product. I truly expected more from this product given the great experience I had with the Bed Head Self-Absorbed Conditioner.
STAPLE STATUS: NO
UP NEXT: RUSK SENSORIES Nourish Kukui & Macadamia Nut Self-Heating Treatment
As far as my dc's now, I am currently using the last unknown, unexperimented moisture dc that I have. I am so happy because I am already stocked with staples, if this treatment is a no-go. I am currently using Alter Ego Nourishing Garlic Treatment.
I have also went through several mediocre dc's, most recently being Paul Mitchell Super-Charged Moisturizer. I don't really feel the need to do a review b/c I either threw the bottles away or I gave them away. I will post the usage on the pj inventories and if there is anything you want to know, just ask.

Thanks for these! I tried the Elasta leave in back in the day & it was horrible on my hair...made it hard
S-hair, that is exactly what happened to my hair. My hair started to get hard and tangled. This exactly why I wait to completely finish a product.
